Use a graph paper for this question. The daily pocket expenses of 200 students in a school are given below:
Draw a histogram representing the above distribution and estimate the mode from the graph.
Solution:
Mark the upper comers of the highest rectangle
and the corners of the adjacent rectangles as A, B, C, D as shown.
Join AC and BD to intersect at P. Draw PM ⊥ x-axis.
Then the abscissa of M is 21, which is the required mode.
Hence, mode = 21
